There is every reason to believe now,

HEREDITARY TAINTS.
BOMK REVELATIONS ON A SUBJECT WHICH
CONCERNS THE WELFARE OF THE RACE
AND THE HAPPINESS OF ALL.
(Rochester Dumocrat and Chronicle.)
To any one who has studied the laws of
life, rnd especially those which relate to
reproduction, an experience such as we
are about to relate, will come with special
force and interest. The. transmission of
certain mental traits of prominence, and
of certain physical traits of equal promi
nence, are facts which all acknowledge,
but which none can understand. The fath
er may be distinguished; the son, an imbe
cile; or, the parent may bedecripit and un
known, and the child achieve the highest
placo possible to humanity. But through
it all, there will be certain characteristics,
which mark the individual as descending
from certain ancestors. Too often, indeed,
these characteristics are infirmities, and of
ten of a physical nature.
These facts were strikingly brought out
during a conversation which a representa
tive of this paper recently had with Mrs
Carrie D. T. Swift, who is the wife of one
of our most prominent citizens. This lady
related that she inherited from her parents
certain tendencies, over which she bad no
control, and which were in the nature of
blood difficulties, assuming the form ot
rheumatism. Her experience caa best bo
described in her own words. To the writer
she said:
"I felt the beginning of this hereditary
taint many years ago, in vague pains,
which seemed to come unaccountably and
at uni ailed tor times. They were annoy
ing, exhausting, and interfered not only
with my duties, but also totally destroyed
my happiness. At first, they would be on
ly transient, ap peering for a daj or two,
and then disappearing; then again they
would come in such violent forms that it
was impossible for me to lift a cup to my
mouth. Afterwards, my feet and hands
swelled so that it was impossible for me to
draw on my shoes er gloves without the
greatest effort. I realized what the diffi
culty was, but seeded powerless to avert
it. I finally became so bad that I was con-
fiaed to the house and to my bed most of
the time. My joints pained me continu
ously, and my feet swelled to enormous
proportions. Knowing that I inherited
this tendency, I had about abandoned
hope, when I began the use of a remedy
which was recommended to me as a friend
as being specially efficient in cases of a
similar kind. To my ereat crratitude. I
tound that it relieved me, restored my ap
petite, and I am able to say that now I
have gained forty pounds in weight, feel
perfectly well, and am in the best possible
condition, owing wholly to Warner's Safe
Rheumatic Cure, which was the remedy I
used."
"No one would ever suspect you had suf
fered so, Mrs. Swift, to see you now," re
marked the reporter.
"That is what all my friends sy. Only
yesterday, an acquaintance ef mine, whom
I had not seen for somo time, hesitated be
fore speaking, and apologized by saying,
Why I really did not know you, you have
changed so for the better since I last met
you, how well you do look."
"Have you any objection to giving the
name of the party who first mentioned
this remedy to you?"
"Not the slightest. It was Mr.R. H. Fur
man, the photographer."
"The newspaper man, after bidding Mrs.
Swift good-bye, repaired to the photograph
ic rooms of Mr. Furman, when the follow
ing conversation ensued :
"Have you been a sufierer from rheuma
tism, Mr. Furman?"
"Well I should think I had."
"For how many years?"
"Twelvo or fifteen."
"Did you try to cure it?"
"Yes, I tried everything, and, at last,
went to the Hot Springs of Arkansas, and
nothing seemed te do me any god until I
tried Warner's Safe Rheumatic Cure.'
"And it cured you, did it?"
"Yes, completely."
"And you can cordial ly recemmend it?"
"Yes, indeed, more cordially than any
thing I have ever known of. It is simply
a wonderful medicine. I believe that two
thirds of all cases, both acute and chronic,
could be cured as I was cured by the use
of this remedy. In fact I know a number
of persons who have been in the worst pos
sible condition, and are now completely
well wholly through its use."
The statements above made are frem
sources, the authority ot which cannot be
questioned. Thsy conclusively prove the
value of the preparation named and show
that even hereditary traits can be removed
1 by the use of the proper meant.

Tbe Beer of a Week Ago, Finding Rea

Their Fbropbecles.
St. Louis, Feb. 21. "George Bain
would bave been Postmaster over' a week
ago," said a gentleman Just returned from
Washineton to a reporter, "were It not for
a very strange shift in tbe situation wbluh
took place while I was there. You see
B.iId was strongly In tbe lead as against any
one of tbe several otber candidates, but
Just as bis success seemed about
assured the fact developed tbat there
bal been a Joining of Issues between
Filley, Bennett and Rodney Wells.
Up to tbat lime, you know, they bad been
flifbtlng each other, and Filley seemed to
regard Bennett's action in applying for the
position as an act of disloyalty, If not Im
pudence. Bennett, however, found out,
it seems, tbat be bad no possible show for
appointment because of tbe implacable op
position of Mr. Hays and bis friends, who
are very strong In Administration circles,
and wbo regardBennett as tbe man through
whose agency Mr. Hays' misfortune were
brought about. So believing, Mr. Bennett
came to tbe conclusion that bis old potitlon
in the postofflce was good enough for him,
at least tbat it was im
mensely better than no position
outside tbe office, bonce a spirit
of conciliation came over bim. Messrs.
Wells and Filley, It appears, became im
pressed with tbeir common danger mean
while, and a tort of tripartite agreement
was arrived at. Just what Its terms are I
don't know, any further tban that it either
Walls cr I illey goes in, it wiil be by tbe aid
of the Bennett strength, and whichever of
tiiein receives the position will be bound to
put Mr. Uennest buck In his old place. I
imagine, however, that Mr. Wells is to be
put forward for first placs by the triumvi
rate, and Mr. Filley will stay in the back
ground and virtually control things through
bis old friend, Bennett."
"Will their united strength be suffliient
to win against Fisbback and Baint"
"I don't think Mr. Fisbback bas any
hope of getting tbe position, and if be
abandons the field bis support will prob
ably go to Bain. At all events, I think tbe
effect of tbe new move bas been merely to
delay Mr. Bain's appointment a little.
You see Arthur Is very anxious, indeed,
to get a Missouri delegation in his favor to
the National Convention. aDd be Is con
sequently very desirous of making a
popular appointment. Ills fear of making
a mistake Is tbe explanation ot all the de
lay." Tltl'EYr TAXDY.
Tbe Colored Silk Seeka Crnmb from
tbe Hoodlums' Table.
St. Louis, Feb. 21. Immediately after
tbe council adjourned last Tuesday night
an old colored man was noticed going
among the members, hurriedly circulating
a paper. With a gracious smile be banded
it to Councilman Rowse, wbo glanced over
It quickly and then banded it back with tbe
remark: "I think you ought toget It with
hose names you bave there. ' ' A reporter
who inquired as to tbe pur
port of tbe paper was in
formed tbat it would be un
wise to give him any information regard
ing the mysterious document. To-day,
however, it developed tbat tbe man circu
lating the paper, Capt. C.-H. Tandy, was
evidently one who trusted in work rather
tban political creed to bring about eivil
service reform and a proper recognition
of tbe rights of the colored race. Said a
gentleman to tbe reporter. "I understand
tbat City Marshal Thomas will toon appoint
n deputy marshal, and Captain Tandy is
seeking the appointment. He is
alto said to be circulating a
petition to tbat effect on the quiet. You
will remember tbat somo time ago Capt.
Tandy was employed at the Custom
ilouse. He gave up tbe place a few months
since, and had his son, about 19 or 20 years
old, put in bis place. His son is now
drawing a salary of (70 a month, and tbe
position of deputy marshal will be worth
$75 a month more. I suppose tbe old man
now draws his son's salary, and it it not
surprising that be it trying to provide for
the whole family, for $141 a month It not 19
tad."

St. Louis, Feb. 21. The Post-Dispatch

session of their commodities after tbey have

It carefully avoids tho silly position first as
sumed by it on this subject, and having
beard from its "country cousins" In un
mistakable tones, seeks to placa'.e the pow
er which makes Congressmen and controls
Congrexs by squealing tbat it Is not them
but city thieves It seeks to restrain. Tbo
best rufutalion ot this assertion is Its utter
falsity.
It Is the country pross against whom the
law 1h aimed, and tbe promise of the Post
Dispatch to allow such p ipers as are moan
enough to do so to copy Its news, is a weak
Invention of tbe enemy to bogulle tbem ot
the use of their influence with their M.C. 's
and lull tbem to Bleep while their scissors
are being broken and their pastpots over

grace from a paper which copies (steals)

and unprofitable" to a community already
